Man, I **hate** not having an Internet connection at home. Isn’t that lame?

Okay . . .

weirddave: you are the snide political comedy that laughs at the status quo and at people who laugh at the status quo. You gore all everyone’s ox.

beefymeg: you are the incredibly well drawn, scripted, and characterized animated movie NOT done by Disney. And you have no annoying little animal critters.

TopazAntares: you are a fantasy movie directed by Sam Rami. You get to say things like “Groovy” and look cool while you do it.

Rosethorn: you are the bittersweet romance movie. Men fear you.

Silo: Not too cheesy? Bwahahahaha. You are the cheeseshop sketch. If you don’t know what that is, ask somebody python.

Bosda: You are the plausible conspiracy theory movie that leaves everyone paranoid.

Tengu: you are a tangent movie. The title is recognizable, but the plot is completely different from what everyone expects.

Calredic: you are the Scottish movie with many men wearing skirts. I like you already.

Thank you phouka, I am just as I imagined myself! How’s that for validation?

(Next time however I will imagine myself as the dashing leading man hero, after whom all the women secretly lust.)

Okay. Catching up from yesterday . . .

Esprix: you are the art house movie with several layers of visual symbolism and existential meaning. Yet you appeal to the masses as well.

Kepi: you are the coming of age film that makes sense to young people and makes old people nostalgic.

lablonde: are the charming foreign film that is so good, people go to see it even with subtitles.

TheUnforgiven: you are the lovecraftian horror movie that is short on gore but long on sanity checks. No one can sleep after watching you.

pluto: you are god of the underwo- uh, no, hang on, wrong category. You are the talented artist makes it big, becomes arrogant, screws up their career, learns what music is all about and makes a successful comeback movie.

You know, Swimming Riddles, this is a hell of a lot tougher than beatifying people. I definitely think you got the easier thread.

Phouka, I just want to say you’re a genius! What really blows me away is that I’ve seen many of these movies.
